I would suggest Jo to any parent who is worried about their teen, she is so approachable and has immense knowledge with her years in education and all her coaching training. She is extremely creative and engaging. Young people find her approachable and she is able to put them at ease, she has a huge heart and so inspiring in her passions to improve young people’s emotional and mental health and wellbeing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.

Coaching is about me and my life, I love that it makes me feel in control and able to make better choices and have a better positive way of thinking about myself and the world and I worry a lot less, and when I do I remember all the things I’ve learned and now I know I have things I want to do and look forward to. Jo is awesome and always inspires me.

'H' March 2020

Being coached by Jo I get a buzz it’s like it helps me to be excited about my future and makes me want to achieve and that I can! She always has great strategies and things that I can use to help me and setting little challenges that I enjoy and make me feel brave and proud. It helps my confidence and I have definitely done so much better in college without her I was hardly going to school and didn’t want to learn.

'T' July 2019

Jo coached my daughter and after a few sessions we saw a huge change, she went from isolating herself to going outdoors and embracing life much more, became more her old self and even returned to education at college to start a new learning journey in one of her passions.

What can I say about this beautiful woman.  She has been in my life for many years and never ceases to amaze me.  Her dedication, determination and positive attitude to everything she does, especially her work students and young people in general is a true inspiration. She is pure joy to be around you cannot but feel happy when this lady is with you. Jo is someone I am proud to call a friend/work colleague/mentor and coach. What she can offer to teens and families is an abundance of skills to enable them to navigate life with more confidence, resilience, self love and with kindness in their hearts.
